The College Dropout Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Over the last few days we've seen how useful it is to have a striker you can launch it up to and play it off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Over the last few days we've seen how useful it is to have a striker you can launch it up to and play it off. If you're alluding to Mario Gomez with the "last few days" bit here - which I assume you are - he received 7 passes in total on Tuesday night with 1 of them coming from a defender.

ponsaelius Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Gomez is certainly not a player you hit with long balls and 'play off'. Not in the slightest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Over the last few days we've seen how useful it is to have a striker you can launch it up to and play it off. Let's sign Zigic then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Tooj, who would you sign to complement the attack next season, out of curiosity? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Aubameyang or Bony. Also I'd buy a young and up and coming striker to push Shola further down the pecking order, so him and Campbell could be fighting it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Even ignoring playing styles Gomez and Lewandowski are worldclass strikers, saying "look at them, now look at Suarez (who won't be at Liverpool next season), Aguero and Robin van Percy!" is completely idiotic. They're better strikers than Cisse, yes, and that's why we cannot get them. It's like saying we should upgrade Cabaye because Andres Iniesta is better than him.

Tooj Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I mentioned the other day that Bakambu at Sochaux would be ideal as he looks to me like he could be a real star for the future. Would also love to see us go all out and buy somebody like Belhanda to give us that extra edge in the final third that we are sorely missing at the moment.

Kanj Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 So Tooj, you're going for either lightning pace or straight power then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 So Tooj, you're going for either lightning pace or straight power then? I think Aubameyang's flexibility could be a huge asset for us too. Whereas if we were to buy Bony his raw power would also bring something different to the table for us. People forget that he's only 5 foot 11 mind, so he's not the Drogba type that many think he is.

Tooj Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Both would bring us good pace on the counter attack too. We'll no doubt get more stick for buying from abroad again but the value in the English market just isn't there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I mentioned the other day that Bakambu at Sochaux would be ideal as he looks to me like he could be a real star for the future. Is wiki right that his contract is up at the end of the season? Seems like something we'd take a chance on if so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll no doubt get more stick for buying from abroad again but the value in the English market just isn't there. I really couldn't care less tbh i only care about the quality of the player not what his passport says. Having said that i wish we would expand our scouting network as it seems quite limited to me as quality as it maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I think the type of striker for me has a lot to do with the other purchases, if there are other purchases. We need 2 new players who'll contribute to set pieces for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
